[Even though Kido feels nervous, too, she recognises that Kano's tension came from a different place. It isn't just that her eyes can hide them, though he knows that. He knows he has no reason to be afraid.
Kido never felt afraid of being found, not really. Because no one wanted to look for her. When they did, it was only because they had to. It was bad enough that she existed; they couldn't afford to lose her and prove their neglect, right?
She reaches down and puts a hand over his. As long as their here, she'll keep her eyes red. They'll stay safe. Even if she can't protect him from what he's afraid of right now...]
...You're safe, Kano.
[The words come out before she can stop them. It's stupid. She's only thinking about this because of that kid. All this nostalgia...isn't really that nice at all.]
...I mean, my eyes will hide us, so...
[It's a late cover, said too many moments after to hide the real meaning. But she leans back against him, resting on some bedding and sighs. It's the best she can do for him.]
